“Now is a great opportunity for residents in the bi-state area to visit America’s tallest monument and save on doing so,” said Gateway Arch Director of Operations Sarah Clarke. “In addition to saving on the tram ride, the re-imagined Museum at the Gateway Arch is always free. Plan a self-led tour before taking the Tram Ride to the Top, where you can view downtown St. Louis from 630 feet in the sky.”

COVID-19 Policies and Protocols

The Tram Ride to the Top experience has been modified to comply with COVID-19 policies and protocols – and the changes are receiving rave reviews from visitors. Families or visiting groups each get their own tram car. Significantly reduced capacity in the Arch observation deck allows groups or families ample space to social distance at the top. Each group or family also gets their own assigned observation deck windows to view the sights of downtown St. Louis and the Mississippi River.
